Not Complaining about Ticket Prices, just the sellers

Post by Glorfindel7 »

:x This makes me somewhat mad.... I noticed that the Buffett show in Tinley park is sold out completely now, so just for the heck of it I went out to TicketsNow.com to see what was available.

I saw about 50 lawn seats varying in price from 50 to 70 dollars, and a couple of pavilion seats varying anywhere from 200 to about 600 dollars a ticket.

The thing that really bugs me is that in this type of outlet how legit are these sellers anyway. And WHY is it that EVERYONE attempts to sell a ticket for a different price in the same section?!?

(BEG I put this in "off topic" as you requested... its not Jimmy, just sellers in general :-) )

TicketsNow Clarification....

Post by Glorfindel7 »

Actually my post was NOT about the ticket prices, but rather the means that people will take to profit off an event!

In this case I'm speaking in general, not just about Buffett, and it doesn't concern ticketmaster.

The "TicketsNow" is a bulletin board for purchasing tickets to many types of events. It's obviously NOT monitored, because otherwise how could we have Lawn tickets being sold by one person for 50 dollars and the others for anywhere from 70-100 dollars (a Lawn seat is the same location no matter which way you look at it... unless it's possible to reserve your grassy spot in the sun :-) )

I apologize for any misinterpretations that resulted from this post. I'm sick of the ticket debate as well, but now I have no choice but to go broker if I want to see the show.... :(

OK lets think about this for just a second.......
Now Tickest now is a bulletin board for tix.. Right??

very much like a newspaper Classified ad section?
right?


why should tickets now moderate the price of tix?
they are offering a place to sell and no more

see Ebay there are many of the same items listed there
and the same item is not the same price from
every seller..
